    P L A Y I N G W I T H C O N T E X T Maria Håkansson DSV Report Series No. 09-002 Playing with Context Explicit and Implicit Interaction in Mobile Media Applications Maria Håkansson ©Maria Håkansson, Stockholm 2009 ISSN 1101-8526 ISRN SU-KTH/DSV/R--09/2--SE ISBN 978-91-7155-793-3 Printed in Sweden by Majornas Grafiska AB, Göteborg 2009 Distributor: Dept. of Computer and Systems Sciences, Stockholm University Abstract This thesis contributes with insights into how aspects of the surrounding physical and social context can be exploited in the design of mobile media applications for playful use. In this work, context refers to aspects of the immediate surroundings – outside of the device – that can be identified and measured by sensors; for instance environmental aspects like sound, and social aspects like co-located people. Two extensive case studies explore the interplay between users, mobile media, and aspects of context in different ways, and how it can invite playful use. The first case study, Context Photography, uses sensor-based information about the immediate physical surroundings to affect images in real time in a novel digital camera application for everyday creativity. The second, Push!Music, makes it possible to share music both manually and autonomously between co- located people, based on so-called media context, for spontaneous music sharing. The insights gained from the designs, prototypes, and user studies, point at the value of combining explicit and implicit interaction – essentially, the expected and unexpected – to open for playful use. The explicit interaction encouraged users to be active, exploratory, and creative.

We apply techniques drawn from interactive media art in fieldwork for social inclusion. Advanced mobile media and grassroots DIY techniques are used to bring creative practice with digital media into community based outreach work. We use these techniques in a participatory context that encourages the co-production of cultural output.

  • Conference Programme
    Conference Programme Welcome from the Chair Tom Rodden Professor of Computer Science University of Nottingham Welcome to UbiComp 2004 ! Welcome to Nottingham for UbiComp 2004. I hope that you will take the opportunity to see, hear about and experience world leading research in ubiquitous computing throughout the four days of the conference and that you enjoy your visit to Nottingham. The diversity of research traditions involved in ubiquitous computing is reflected throughout the programme. This year’s conference includes two keynotes that demonstrate the breadth of the ubiquitous computing community. Janet Abrams who directs the Design Institute at the University of Minnesota will present a plenary which explores many of the issues raised by ubiquitous computing from a design perspective. Turing award winner Robin Milner will present a closing plenary that explores the fundamental computational issues in ubiquitous computing. The UbiComp technical area chairs, committees and reviewers have done an excellent job in assembling a high quality technical programme. The main conference programme is complemented by a diverse collection of workshops on the Tuesday. The demo programme will allow you to experience a diverse set of ubiquitous computing concepts and technologies and we have a dedicated reception to allow you to do this and to explore the range of posters making up our poster programme. Our technical paper programme has assembled a very high quality collection of papers from the high number of submissions and I am sure that the programme will stimulate interest and debate among all attendees. A conference is also about research community; the meeting of new researchers and the renewal of old friendships is a key aspect of any conference.

  • CAE 2015 Reflection Paper on Culture And
    Annalisa Cicerchia But the Gods, taking pity on human beings - a race born to labor - gave them regularly recurring divine festivals, as a means of refreshment from their fatigue; they gave them the Muses, and Apollo and Dionysus as the leaders of the Muses, to the end that, after refreshing themselves in the company of the Gods, they might return to an upright posture. - Plato 1. THE SECOND YEAR: AN OUTLOOK The first year of the present project has been devoted to identifying the main themes, approaches and methods in the intersection between culture and wellbeing and building a dynamic map. In the second year, we have tried to explore some of those themes, approaches and methods together with a number of cultural organisations, within and without CAE, with the aim of: a. bringing the debate closer to their daily activity and b. enlarging and strengthening the working group. 1 Along the first line, participants in the CAE network expressed (also thanks to a two days lab in Newcastle at the end of 2014 and two technical seminars in Brussels in 2015) a clear need of new, viable and reliable instruments to assess and communicate the social impacts of culture. In both occasions, participants have been very clear about the fact that cultural organisations need those instruments: first for themselves, second for their public/beneficiaries and third for their sponsors, funders, institutional supports, etc. They tended to express dissatisfaction with the conventional quantitative measures borrowed from economic performance toolkits, solely based upon quantitative and indicator-oriented approaches, which were considered unsuitable for conveying the core values involved in cultural practices.
